did you put new stereo or aftermarket alarm to it recently before this thing happened? if yes, then you know what happened to one of your wires. defenitely electrical though

well, took it to the Acura dealership yesterday...seems a rodent had chewed through the wire going to the A/C coil clutch...they want 560 dollars to fix it...the mechanic told me that the dealer makes them replace the whole coil and harness,but all i have to do is splice the wire back....spent a few hours working on it..took forever to get to the wire then there is no hand room to work, finally got it fixed and i have cold air now...the dim bulbs are both blown, gonna cost me like 365 to have them replaced,but at least i have cold air again

for sure that you have wiring issues... only a pro could solve this as it needs to be tackled one by one. eventually will require great knowledge on system wiring diagrams.

Interestingly, Honda now sells a Rodent Proof Tape to wrap around wiring harnesses. Apparently recyclable wire insulation tastes good! (But is it good for you?)
